Tête de femme – Pablo Picasso
Tête de femme is a 1971 painting by Pablo Picasso: a woman’s head in profile, painted with black lines and white and grey planes. We paint our hand-painted study of Tête de femme to order on canvas, in oil or acrylic, in 8 sizes from 40 × 50 cm to 130 × 170 cm or in a custom size. Before Tête de femme is dispatched, we send you a photo of the finished painting.
What does Tête de femme show?
Tête de femme shows a woman with a sharp profile, a large eye and a long nose looking to the left; her dark hair falls in a wide curve to the nape of her neck, and her face is split into a light white half and a grey half, edged with thick black strokes. In his last years Picasso painted fast and with few colours, which is why Tête de femme feels graphic, calm and elegant.
How is our hand-painted study of Tête de femme made?
Our painters paint the study of Tête de femme by hand, with brushstrokes of different thickness, separately for every order. We paint in oil or acrylic, depending on the subject and the size, so the surface of Tête de femme has a real paint texture that a print does not have. When Tête de femme is finished, we photograph it and send you the photo for approval.
Which size of Tête de femme suits your room?
For the wall above a sofa or a sideboard choose Tête de femme in 80 × 100 cm, and for a bedroom, hallway or work corner 40 × 50 cm.

The 114 × 146 cm size of Tête de femme is the size of the original. A simple rule for Tête de femme: it should be about two thirds as wide as the furniture below it, with its centre about 150 cm from the floor.
